George Feucht Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi everyone! What are folks using these days for high-output sharp-beamed flashlights? I have a scene primarily lit by a flashlight cutting through a (haze-filled) dark church. I'd love the sharp edges (almost Source-4ish) of what they had with the Maxabeam in Jurassic Park, but in a smaller package. I'm F55 on this, but I might be overcranked so figure I'll be at 640ISO at a T2.8 and need the beam to really cut through the haze. Maglight sized would be great. Blue beam is fine. Anything new and exciting out there for sharp flashlights or do I need to have the actor use an old boxy Maxabeam? Thanks! -George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted July 15, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 LEDs are pretty bright these days. If you need more, there are HID (that is, high-intensity discharge) flashlights available up to 75W, at least that I've seen. I have no idea how they'll render on camera. Here's one. http://www.dx.com/p/hid-75y-rechargeable-75w-7500lm-3-mode-white-light-hid-flashlight-silver-169786#.VaaH1flVhBc P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albion Hockney Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 if you want something with that narrow of a beam it will have to be the maxabeam or similar as that is not a normal flashlight that is a search light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
